q3 review + q4 goals

Posting this a day early bc... well, if it hasn't been done by this point it's not going to happen today lol.

As a quick refresher, last January I switched from setting monthly goals to using a quarterly schedule. The idea was to include more scope in my goals, but still be realistic about time frames and potential outcomes. You can find all of this year's goal posts in the sidebar.

2015 Q3 Review:

General:

Monthly confo shotsPosts here. Kinda sorta missed August (and probably still owe a late September post)... but I kinda sorta think it'll be ok haha.

Research MCTA points system Researched, and I've been diligently tracking points (tho I have no clue how they compare to anyone else). According to trainer P, *everyone* gets a prize tho, so woot woot!

Audit a clinicYeppers - so much fun! Extra special bonus that this included spending time with Austen & Alli!

Lesson with Sally Cousins - Had an opportunity but it wasn't the right time...

Lead changes? - Ehhhh. We did ONE? But no real concerted effort... Have played with counter canter tho, and we actually worked specifically on *landing* the lead in a lesson last night (details forthcoming), which seems preferable to both trainers. Maybe that's where our focus should lie?

Finish in top 5 at an event (for divisions with 10+ riders, top 3 otherwise) - YUP

i actually love the idea of lateral work and can totally see getting really sucked into the feeling of when it goes right. but... i seriously lack coordination and we usually end up fighting when i try for it. it's a work in progress!
